It started with a love and enchantment of the beautiful Guatemalan textiles, combined with a desire to give back to the amazing Mayan community that so lovingly creates these works of art, which has resulted in Ixchel Textiles.

It is only appropriate that the proceeds from the sale of these stunning items be returned to the people from which they came. We do so in our assistance through the organization Mayan Families. This assistance includes school sponsorships, family support, and weaving classes for young girls in an effort to keep the weaving tradition alive for future generations.

We are not professional textile appraisers or experts, but we have learned much from living in Guatemala and working with the Maya people. The information that we have is ‘direct from the source’. We hope you enjoy these beautiful items as much as we do!
